A RESIDENT of Iveshead Road, Shepshed, says that people living in his corner of town are forgotten about.

Aubrey Paine, 82, says that buses connecting Shepshed and Loughborough stop come as near as the Leicester Road/Ashby Road East junction and the Charnwood Road/Anson Road junction - both too far for elederly residents of Iveshead Road such as himself to walk.

He said: "It's a terrible service - we've got bus passes and we can't use them.

"It's about time this end of Shepshed was woken, it's like a ghost town.

"I do think the one-way system that people have suggested for the town would help our situation."
